When a character goes missing just as a Sherlock Holmes game launches, Holmes and Dr. Watson investigate. Their case takes them inside the game and through different stages of its development.
This point-and-click adventure uses a stretchy grab-and-pull interaction: drag objects and characters to move, spin, or manipulate them. Solve environmental puzzles by working out how the elements in each scene fit together.
The investigation unfolds across a linear story with comedic, meta twists and a changing presentation. Puzzles use the central dragging mechanic in different ways, and an in-game hint system can offer guidance when you get stuck.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its absurd humor, visual style, Holmes and Watson's antics, and the novelty of its drag-based interactions. Some also appreciate the story's meta take on game development and creative puzzle moments. Reactions to the puzzles are mixed: some find them inventive and satisfying, while others describe solutions as opaque or overly dependent on trial and error. Timed sections and precise dragging are recurring frustrations.
Panic at the development studio!
Just as the new Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson video game hit the market, one of its characters mysteriously went missing.
After their memorable appearance in the non-game There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension, our extravagant investigators are back in their own adventure.
Armed with their iconic ineptitude, they must solve a mystery that transcends the space-time boundaries of their world…
But they won’t succeed without your help!
Travel to the very heart of the game's creation and explore the various stages of its development to unravel the threads of this strange case.
Welcome to a wildly elastic and infinitely meta experience!
• Rediscover Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson, joined by a cast of new, endearing characters.
